The gang is back from the Tokyo Hobby Show and gets crackin’ on the latest new releases we missed while we were away at the show! Scott returns for a look at a monster of a kit as well as something Great and a-Mazing-er! Oh, and this is Gunpla TV, after all — Todd has the RE100 Jagd Doga built and takes a close look at it!
In this episode:
– 1/100 RE/100 Gyunei Guss’s Jagd Doga
– 1/144 HG Great Mazinger (Mazinger Z: Infinity Ver.)
– Godzilla x Mechagodzilla MFS-3 Type 3 Kiryu
– Figure-rise Standard Uzumaki Naruto

Still not sure whether I prefer the Geara Doga or the Jagd Doga.
POGI AKO
I still like gundam more. but this is a nice kit but it looks so busy
NeoStrawberry
Oh sugar snap peas!!! This looks awesome!

4th to comment! haha. Wish the mazinger could have a bit more articulation. especially if its bandai making it… but either way it does look very cool (including the box art)!

Question: Does the new HLJ site retain an Advanced Search function? Or has that been axed?

So, I used to want the store credit to get one of my favorite kits of all the time, the HG Hy-gogg, but my girlfriend surprised me with one right out of nowhere, so it would be pretty nice to win so I can get her something cute for her.

Man does that mechagodzilla kit look like it’ll turn out to be something spectacular…..

Love to see that Bandai has been experimenting with new stuffs like Pacific Rims, Mazinger, Dragon Ball and Naruto kits, cant wait to see whats coming next.

After watching this week’s episode, I really am interested in the Figure Rise Standard Uzumaki Naruto and also those HG Mazinger kits. I’ve never seen any of the Mazinger shows but the model kits look pretty cool and even though it’s an HG, the model kits look amazing.
BNuts
I shall make a prediction: Bandai’s hottest-selling kit of 2019 shall be the ‘Figure-rise Standard Ayame.’
Especially if they fix the freaky eye problem that the Gunpla Girls have had since ‘Super Fumina.’
kai2kai
Great. Thank you ^_^

Great looking RE Jagd Doga! I’ve been waiting for an MG version for like foreeeeeever…. hope we get one eventually!
And welcome back Ardith! Such a wealth of old school Robo knowledge, hope to see you back again soon!

I’m also a fan of the buildable action figure trend going on right now. It’s a good option for people that cant always afford figma and don’t mind putting a little extra work in.
Andrés
Man, that Great Mazinger looks…. wll… GREAT!
Złoty Pstryk
I’m still waiting for PG 00 Qan[T]
ii_r_ftw
hmm might need to get that godzilla if it is as good as the price would make you think it should be
Ahmed Yassin
when they said holding hands I thought about the manly for arm in for arm holding hands.
not the Yaoi kinda holding hands 😀
jeel
win!

Gimme The 2000 Yen So I can buy Naruto 🙂
If i can give some opinion on the new HLJ website. Its hard to see, please put some border for each section.
XONNIX
Great show guys! I have a feeling I’ll win that store credit…
Ju-Ju
I love the figure-rise series. I have an SSJ Goku and a final form Frieza built and I had so much fun building it and painting it. These kits have great flexibility and can pose great, love them!
Angel Twosix
Wow, each figure you showed in this ep. had something interesting in them:
While Naruto’s not my cup of tea, the magnet gimmick got me thinking about doing some modding on my current figures,
I just love the Mazinger kits, would look amazing with just a bit of wash, to make more use of the detailing,
I’m really impressed with the Jagd Doga’s poseability,
and finally… the Mechagodzilla! I Gotta Have it!
Helluva
Hello, as Todd and Scott said… A MACROSS SDF-1 or a VF-1 Valkyrie would be great for a PG !! When you see the new Macross Delta Valkyries (the entirely transformable ones..) that gives some idea of what it could be… And I really think theses two kits could be just awesome !!!
Ps : Hello to Ardith wich seem to appear regularly (Sorry for the english..) in the show for some times now : So welcome back !
I’m pretty sure that such knowledge about old animes and robots must be invaluable at hlj !! 😉 And we are still waiting for the return of Boss Builds too !! Hope to see you guys soon ! And, good work for the website.. seems to run fine, but i would agree with Damienhell comment, Borders between sections could help i think.. Good
Penafred
Now that’s a packed episode. All the kits (except Naruto) look really interesting.
Daintydragon
The giveaways in the videos made me join, but the cool stuff in the videos and my interest in this stuff will keep me here. Here’s hoping for the store credit and if not, well, I’ll at least have free entertainment.

Life is too important to be taken seriously
Gaelio Zabi
It’s nice that Bandai also gives the vintage mechas attention. Now I’m not worry that when I get old the RG RX-78-2 from decades ago is the only kit choice I have.
Ravenps3
More MG Bandai, pls!!!
Veemon24
Might get the PG Seven Sword, but was hoping for something new.
EdgeyLu
I’d love to see an HG Jagd Doga Revive version!
Mapotofu
Ha, I wish i have watch Mazinger as a kid.
Ramrod
Turns out to me that the MG Buster Gundam is a real good kit and very nice to build. Hopefully, I win the 2.000 ¥ credit to build more such great kits!
Kura
I like the Great Mazinger but I kind of like the “Standard?” Mazinger Z more.
Neon Wave
If they made a PG Tallgeese, Scott would buy it for sure.
foxhound
The Jagd Doga is looking very tempting as a solid kit with great colors and panel detail, I just wish I had some extra money lying around to get one.
Kingkong 1995
Lot of people really amused by Jagd Doga, but I am more like red, blue, yellow kind of person
crossmirage
RE 1/100 is a great line so far. too bad i cant afford them
G-Raizer
great show guys! love the lak of stickers on the Jagd
Momentai
MECHAGODZILLA looks amazing
Shinobi Rendar
Those Mazinger kits look absolutely tempting! I’ve never seen any Mazinger shows but the kits look fantastic!
MechaArtist Col1815
I must compliment the level of knowledge regarding products on the recent all Japan hobby show. At times it seemed that Todd and Brian were duelling information in a competitive meta-message knowledge off.
Your information showdown of facts I think it was a draw but the enthusiasm made me wont to try some military kits maybe one of those cutaway Panther tanks so I thank you both for the great entertainment.
EVGA GEFORCE RX-78-2
I have been looking at that mech Godzilla and was wondering if I should get it now I need to get it.
Angelizer
That mecha godzilla looks really good, the announcement of the new PG was a little disappointing for me, I was expecting some zeon love for the PG line! don’t get me wrong Exia is an amazing suit, but If my memory doesn’t fail, the only PG Zeon suit so far is the Zaku II, and that kit has almost 20 years. We need more Zeon kits for the PG line!
Congratulations, HLJ and Hobbylink TV are awesome!
StrikeSteven
I’m not a Mazinger at all but I will be picking up that RE/100 Jagd Doga for sure.

Can’t wait to get my own Jagd Doga! Looks great!
Kingkong 1995
Honestly, I am not a fan of mazinger, but 2500 store credit would be nice :p
Brian ver. Kanada
Great show with Captain Scott, Todd and Ardith. I do like the new Mazinger designs from Bandai. I also liked the advanced search of the old site even if it showed Discontinued. Does the new site do something similar especially if some items may or may not come back in stock?
Zeroconvoy
I love it with Ardith shows up. The massive Great Mazinger looked so cool!
El Zaku
I like the second camera addition but for the big desk shots can you bring it closer? So we can actually see what you are showing us.
Vhiztified
I would love to see Bandai makes a kit the size of the extra-large one that Ardith brought, even if only with the detail of an HG or RE line
Quantum25
Fantastic show guys. Great Mazinger looks, well, great! Always been a huge Mazinger fan, so I’m glad to see their kits reaping the benefits of all the advances Bandai has made with their HG line.
EnsignModeler
great show again! details look great on the mazinger
nikraf
That Mazinger does looks cool. That Naruto does have pretty good gimmick, cant wait to see you guys reviewing it.
JumpNShootMan
Looking forward to the Mechagodzilla!
Hasaki
Always enjoy watching your episodes, great job on the reviews, that Mazinger is surely a must get.
